Introduction

B'har: This speaks about the importance of the sabbath rest of lands and also the observance of Jubilee, which is a hope of the people.

B'chukotai: The parsha addresses blessings for obeying the law, curses for disobeying it.

Broadcast the New Beginning. Jubilee is the year at the end of seven cycles of shemita (sabbatical years), and according to Biblical regulations had a special impact on the ownership and management of land in the Land of Israel.

The regulation of Jubilee deals largely with land, property, and property rights. According to Leviticus, bond-servants and prisoners would be freed, debts would be forgiven, and the mercies of G-d would be particularly manifest. Leviticus 25:8-13 Observe Jubilee (Lev 25:8-55)
“‘You are to count seven Shabbats of years, seven times seven years, that is, forty-nine years. Then, on the tenth day of the seventh month, on Yom-Kippur, you are to sound a blast on the shofar; you are to sound the shofar all through your land; and you are to consecrate the fiftieth year, proclaiming freedom throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It will be a yovel for you; you will return everyone to the land he owns, and everyone is to return to his family. That fiftieth year will be a yovel for you; in that year you are not to sow, harvest what grows by itself or gather the grapes of untended vines; because it is a yovel. It will be holy for you; whatever the fields produce will be food for all of you. In this year of yovel, every one of you is to return to the land he owns.

Introduction

After the deaths of Nadav and Avihu, sons of Aaron, the L-RD warns against unauthorized entry into the holy place.  Only one person, the kohen gadol (i.e high priest)  can enter once a year on Yom Kippur towards the innermost chamber in the Sanctuary to offer the sacred ketoret [an offering] to G‑d.
Actions expected on our part
1. Lev 18:4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the L-RD your G-d.

2. Lev 18:5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the L-RD.

3. Lev 18:26  Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:

4. Lev 18:30  Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the L-RD your G-d.

5. Lev 19:37  Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the L-RD.

6. Lev 20:22-23  Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.  And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

7. Lev 20:26 “And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the L-RD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.”
The Parshah of K’doshim starts with a strong statement: “You shall be holy, for I, the L‑rd your G‑d, am holy.”  This is followed by several mitzvot (i.e. commandments) that separates him/herself and be connected to the holiness of G‑d.

The Power of the Spoken Word
The evil tongue commonly associated with gossip, is very serious in Elohim's eyes. If you think about it, it is probably one of the most widely disobeyed of all His commandments.

The words the Almighty gave to the Israelites were Spiritual words. The words we speak are also from the spirit because we use the breath of life that the Father has given us to speak them. Words have consequences; the words of the Almighty always have a purpose.
When the days of her purification are over, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring a lamb in its first year for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or dove for a sin offering to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to the cohen.

Leviticus 12:6
